Dodsferd/Death Set The Beginning Of My Journey/Moribund Records/2008 CD Review

Dodsferd are a band from Greece that has been interviewed and had plenty of their music reviewed in this zine, that plays a very raw, hateful and depressing form of black metal and this is a review of their 2008 album "Death Set The Beginning Of My Journey" which was released by Moribund Records during the year of 2008.

Drums alternate between slow, midpaced to fast drumming with a good amounft of blast beats, while the bass playing has a very dark and raw tone which follows the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.

Rhythm guitars mix slow, midpaced to fast rae and depressive black metal riffs together with a punk edge being used at times, while the lead guitars are very primitive sounding black metal guitar solos.

Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with some suicidal cries, while the lyrics coverhateful and suicidal themes, as for the production of this album which was recorded at Studio 5 in Feburary of 2008 and mixed and mastered during July of the same year it has a very dark and raw feel to it.

In my opinion this was another great album from Dodsferdd and if you are a fan of this band you probably already own this album. RECEMMONDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Suicide Was Created By Your Incompetence" and "Death Set The Beginning Of My Journey". RECEMMONDED BUY.
